Wow, @QVCisFun ,  you went above and beyond!  I love all the examples and similar motifs that you managed to find, good work!

I've hunted too, in spare moments.  A fantastic online resource is "EAPGS ( early American pattern glass) Pattern Index".  They have different motifs you can plug in to a finder, in hopes of bringing up the correct pattern. 

That's worked with most of my other 8 or 9 pieces, but not with this rascal.  I've plugged in different motifs like "ribbed",  "plumes or feathers", "arches/crescents"  ---  and come up empty.

Once on my own I once found a pattern called "Admiral" or ribbed ellipse, but it has only a few points of similarity to my piece.  It's clearly not the same pattern--

Still have a few other avenues for investigation.  Thanks a mill for trying!

I have checked the EAPGS site from the time you mentioned in it your original post, and many times since then.  It is a nice resource.

I came across the "Admiral" vase too, in my online travels.

It has been a fun project and I am still working on it, as it appears you are too.  Good.  Maybe we will come up with something.   Meanwhile, I'm having fun looking, reading, learning new things.  For example, recently came across a new (to me) word:  muffineer.

@QVCisFun ,  I'd not really encountered muffineers before either.  There sure were some pretty ones out there:
